According to this article, the total amount of money that this Republican House has tried to cut over the past two years and in the next fiscal budget for embassy security, construction and protection is pushing $1 billion total. Between the Worldwide Security Protection fund and the State Department's own budget, they have already cut nearly $240 million from those two funds just this year, and wanted to cut more. Think that might have had an impact on who was available security duty in Libya?

nopokerface:Mrtraveler01: I love how you guys keep saying it's bullshiat but haven't been able to prove that it's bullshiat.

I'm sure the Marines are going to be surprised that their funding was cut by Republicans who thought that the State Department was spending excessively. This is the biggest steaming pile in a while. But, who cares? You're in love.

I haven't tagged a blind military shill in a while, good to know you just come right out and admit it

Captain_Sunshine:nopokerface: There's lots of funny sh*t on here, I usually manage to avoid this crap. But, I've been drinking....

Maybe this will help you sober up a bit.

You just don't understand. Because 0bama wants to cut funding to Halliburton and Boeing's defense contracts, that automatically means they are to blame for all issues including an embassy attack. Dumb libtards

Carousel Beast:fusillade762: vpb: namatad: the under secretary of state for management, issued a "decision memo" in December 2011 requiring that the Benghazi post be manned with five diplomatic security agents, but that it usually had only three or four.

Because 1-2 more security agents would have made a world of difference??

Yes, that's retarded. If he had known that it would be attacked by a local militia with heavy weapons then he would have requested evacuation.

This.

GAT_00: And here's the Moonie Times no less saying exactly that, the GOP massively cut embassy security budgets.

Yeah, it's right in TFA, too.

The Democratic memo said that since gaining the House majority in 2010 elections, Republicans have voted to reduce embassy security funding by about half a billion dollars below the amount requested by the Obama administration.

This is a pattern with Republicans. "The government can't do anything right! Look, we'll prove it!!"

Also FTFA:

The cuts to the embassy construction, security and maintenance budget was almost 10 percent of the entire appropriation for that account over those two years, said Scott Lilly, now a scholar at the left-leaning Center for American Progress.

Oh, didn't know that the GOP controlled "Congress" from your link. Could have sworn the Dems controlled the Senate. It is also the State Department that allocates funds once set. There were no other areas to cut, the House forced cuts to Benzghai? You keep derping that chicken.

Yeah- the house cut the money drastically, and the Senate managed to get some, but not all, added back in.

Republicans cut the money, Democrats tried to stop the cuts. This isn't hard.

Obviously it was the single House of Representatives and republicans fault... not misallocation of funds since 2009.

THE HORROR OF THOSE GOP CUTS! Sad what liberals actually believe. Once again, so you liberals can understand... if you ask for a 10% increase, it is not a cute to your budget to only receive a 7% increase.

Denying funding then blaming 0bama for not increasing security. wrap your heads around that

He can't. In his eyes, the Republicans are always right and the side of virtue and truth whereas the Democrats are always wrong and are the evil party determined to hold America back from her greatness.

Yeah it's totally the GOP's fault. This makes sense as the White House immediately went into attack mode over it instead of trying to cover up the story like they had made a huge mis....oh nm.

So you're saying they should have gone straight to blaming the Republicans for cutting the security budget? Is that your final answer?

You people know damn well if the Bush Administration had pulled the idiocy that the Obama Administration did before and after the attacks the MSM would crucify him for it. It would have ended his reelection bid and rightly so. But since their guy is in office they go right along with the lies about the video being the cause and that it could never have been an act of terrorism.

There were outright lies and a cover up for two weeks after the attack and murder of 4 US citizens operating in an official US capacity and you guys on the Left want to make excuses for Obama and his team.They had the intel during and after the attack and yet Obama chose to blame it on a video no one had even heard of before his Administration brought it up.On top of that, they failed to secure the facility after the attack and untold amounts of top secret information fell into the hands of the enemy.

I don't think so. Bush survived the reelection despite the massive controversies surrounding him. Obama is getting his ass crucified by the MSM, you are just ignoring it because it contradicts your preconceptions.

0bama's responsible for embassy security now too. What else is this magic wizard capable of?

zepher:But since their guy is in office they go right along with the lies about the video being the cause and that it could never have been an act of terrorism.

Even though the media is in favor of Romney and after the debates they went full derp

No, there was no solid intel on what exactly happened. a team of FBI agents couldn't even reach the area to investigate

zepher:They had the intel during and after the attack and yet Obama chose to blame it on a video no one had even heard of before his Administration brought it up.

They had the intel? citation needed

The video was what caused all the protests around the region. Are you denying this fact too?

I'm glad to see another desperate shill comes out of the wood work to dance on more graves. It's like Democrats on 9-12-01 all over again

That was the mooslems in charge plan.

I'm sure the US had tons of secret information hidden away at a small temporary embassy in a country just coming out of a civil war that toppled a dictator. I bet the Libyans now know who killed JFK and the codes to the football

You mean the names and locations of Libyan operatives that were under US control and counterintelligence plans isn't enough for you?You have to go right for the nuclear launch codes?

Your derp is showing.

So. You were there, have primary knowledge, and have now exposed to the world in general and Al Qaeda in particular the fact that the top-secret CIA NOC list was stored not in Langley Virginia (which would have required a very gay-bondage-themed-mission-impossible sequence) but in a shabby temporary store-front consulate in a town recently reclaimed by violent revolution from a cartoonish anti-American freakshow who made Michael Jackson seem almost on the verge of appearing to be normal.

You masturbate a lot after reading Tom Clancy too, not that there's anything wrong with that.

voristrupp:I worked extensively in north africa. our security is weak. has been for a decade. we knew benghazi was a security risk because there are al sides loyalists there who routinely attack foreign interests. the Italian consulate was attacked there a few years ago and we know about recurring problems, security should have been tighter.

But it is most important for internet warriors to explain how the Republicans failed

Not to mention the protesters in Syria and Egypt among others were very vocal about their outrage for the video. But this guy is also claiming the video didn't cause the protests. Obviously his reality is so detached for the rest of the world I think it's just better to pat him on the head and send him back to the padded room.
